Substances in ranking: 1. heroin, 2 cocaine, 3 barbiturates, 4 street methadone, and 5 alcohol. According to The Lancet, these top 5 have the potential to change lives for the worst. I guess crystal meth and ghb are safe. NOT!

Alcohol and heroin are the most addictive and intoxicating drugs. Heroin is undisputed in addictiveness and destruction in the individual. However! Alcohol on the other hand is more intoxicating than heroin.

Tobacco products can be deadly over the long term, but they are way out of the league of substance abuse. Tobacco rarely gets u in trouble with the law, job, family, money, etc. It's not alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana u know!

Nothing is wrong with this stimulant: It's unregulated, safe, and has absolutely no potential to destroy lives. It is a xanthine, an ardenosene inhibitor. Cocaine another stimulant, is entirely different, way way out of the league of caffeines. Cocaine is dangerous, regulated, and illegal. Caffeine can't put you in handcuffs,cocaine can without a doubt.
